> Hmm, apparently the -l flag was added in #832799, for a rather complicated case where the interpreter is linked with a library dlopened by an embedding application (I suppose for some kind of plugin system). The OP there also mentions RTLD_GLOBAL as a workaround (or perhaps the right way of achieving the desired effect).

bpo-34814 is linked to this use case: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1585201 is an example of Python embedded in C using dlopen("libpython2.7.so.1.0", RTLD_LOCAL | RTLD_NOW). Problem: some C extensions of the standard library cannot be loaded in this case, like _struct.
On Fedora and RHEL, some C extensions like _struct are built by the "*shared*" section of Modules/Setup. In this case, these C extensions are not explicitly linked to libpython.
IHMO it's a bad usage of dlopen(): libpython must always be loaded with RTLD_GLOBAL.
bpo-832799 has been fixed by the following commit which modify distutils to link C extensions to libpython:
